Orientis Aura: Macau Perspectives in Religious Studies

The Journal Orientis Aura: Macau Perspectives in Religious Studies is published by the Faculty of Religious Studies of the University of Saint Joseph in Macau. In 2006 the University, known on that time as Inter University Institute of Macau (IIUM), launched a Master Degree in Religious Studies and later, a Bachelor degree.

It was the beginning of a complex process which result was the relaunching of the Catholic Theological Studies in Macau. Orientis Aura is an important milestone of this process that hopefully will be a major contribution to Macau towards the enhancement of the study and research within the field of Religious Studies. The journal will be published yearly under an Open Access Policy, Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License following our worldwide promotion strategy. The objective is that the research developed in Macau by the University and by the network of partner institutions might encounter in this new Journal a solid and strong medium of scholarly communication.
